Social and behavioral predictors of insufficient sleep among African Americans and Caucasians.
Article in Sleep medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFew studies have examined the social and behavioral predictors of insufficient sleep.
objectiveTo assess the social and behavioral predictors of insufficient sleep in the U.S.
methodsData from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed. Telephone interviews were conducted in six representative states that completed the optional sleep module. A total of 31,059 respondents were included in the present analysis. BRFSS-provided weights were applied to analyses to adjust for the use of complex design.
resultsThe mean age for the sample was 56 ± 16 years, with 63% of the sample being female; 88% identified as non-Hispanic white and 12% identified as non-Hispanic black; 42% were not married and 8% did not have a high school degree. The prevalence of insufficient sleep (<7 hours) was 37%. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression revealed associations of four important factors with insufficient sleep, which were: working more than 40 hours per week [OR = 1.65, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.65-1.66], black race/ethnicity [OR = 1.37, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.37-1.38], history of heart disease [OR = 1.26, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.25-1.28], care-giving to family/friends [OR = 1.50, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.49-1.51], and lack of social and emotional support [OR = 1.24, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1. 23-1.25].
conclusionSocial and behavioral predictors of health uniquely contribute to the report of insufficient sleep and should be considered when developing programs to increase awareness of the adverse effects of insufficient sleep.
